Does the 2010 5-door/5-speed actually exist?

[adrew]

I could not find the 5-door/5-speed on any of the regional configurators, so I wrote Toyota. Below is my question and their response.

Has anyone actually seen this combination in real life?

Hi there,

I was excited to see that the Yaris 5-door will be available with a manual transmission for 2010. I tried a few regions on the configurator and it does not appear to actually be available (at least in my area). Is this just a glitch where the regional distributors aren't aware of this model yet, or is it just not available in my area?

If it is the latter, can you tell me the regions in which it is/will be available?

Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A.
